Wisdom Is A Mighty Fine Sister Of Mine
I'm thinking pop folk and sort of have a melody in mind. If anyone has any ideas on a suitable chord progression, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Renee
WISDOM IS A MIGHTY FINE SISTER OF MINE
[Verse 1]
It’s true, I’m old
Some would say of no use
But I know things
Things of the recluse
One of my favorite passages
Proverbs 7:4
Wisdom and understanding
Who could want for more?
[Chorus]
Wisdom is a mighty fine sister of mine
Sent down from the Divine
Wisdom is a mighty fine sister of mine
Goes down sweet as cherry wine
[Verse 2]
She understands me
Better than anyone
She shows me the way
Here for the long run
Stubborn as my grandma
Heart of true-blue
Lady Wisdom
I owe my life to you
[Chorus]
Wisdom is a mighty fine sister of mine
Sent down from the Divine
Wisdom is a mighty fine sister of mine
Goes down sweet as cherry wine
[Verse 3]
It’s true, I’m old
Some would say of no use
But I know things
Things of the recluse
One of my favorite passages
John 8:32
Freedom comes free
By way of the truth, and
[Chorus]
Wisdom is a mighty fine sister of mine
Sent down from the Divine
Wisdom is a mighty fine sister of mine
Goes down sweet as cherry wine
[1/2 Verse 2/Tag]
Stubborn as my grandma
Heart of true-blue
Lady Wisdom
I owe my life to you.

"Wisdom is a mighty fine sister of mine" is a wonderful line and title. Really memorable and unique and you make good use of it in your chorus.
"Things of the recluse" feels a touch awkward to me, but it's hard to see what else you could put there. "Use" has a limited number of rhymes to go with it, and I can't suggest a better one.
I like the feel and vibe of it.

@RainyDayMan I agree about 'recluse'; even sings a bit awkward. I wonder if the following might work better tho' a bit cliche:
"It’s true, I’m old
Like yesterday’s news (too cliche ?)
But I know things
Wouldn’t trade these shoes"
Also, just noticed V3's rhyme scheme doesn't match V1 and 2, dang! 😥
Perhaps the following to fix rhyme scheme problem and giving the lyric a new shade of color:
V3
It’s true, I’m bound
Longing to break free
Myself to blame
For these chains ‘round me
One of my favorite passages
John 8:32
The price of freedom paid in full
By way of the Truth
Thank you for your thoughts,
Renee
